On the homepage you can see where exactly the type plate is located. Here you can also check in real time whether your device is affected. Alternatively you can contact our staff directly using the contact details stated on the homepage.

Why is Bosch Power Tools conducting this safety-related measure?

In the course of our ongoing quality controls we have determined that a material defect of the ventilation wheel can occur with a limited number of sanders. This could lead to the ventilation wheel inside the device breaking. This could cause a break in the device housing and smaller parts of the ventilation wheel could be ejected. It cannot be ruled out that this could lead to injuries. Further, live components could be exposed which in a worst case scenario could result in a life-threatening electric shock. However, we are not aware of any such cases.

In order to meet our responsibility towards you, our customer, we have decided to recall the affected devices as a precaution and exchange them for new devices. Naturally, this exchange will be free of charge to you.
